Octavia's new to Ponyville, and she just bought a used couch. As it turns out, she has to move the heavy thing clear across town on her lonesome. That isn't the problem. The problem is these damn crazy ponies who won't stop pesterin

Princess Luna tripped and fell while dreamwalking, causing the night visions of everypony in Equestria to merge with one another. Now it's up to Twilight and her friends to group up in the dreamscape and "kick" Luna awake.

"My name is Lyra Heartstrings, and you will not remember me. You won't even remember this conversation. Just like with everypony else I've ever met, everything I do or say will be forgotten. Every letter I've written will appear blank; every piece of evidence I've left behind will end up missing. I'm stuck here in Ponyville because of the same curse that has made me so forgettable. Still, that doesn't stop me from doing the one thing that I love: making music. If my melodies find their way into your heart, then there is still hope for me. If I can't prove that I exist, I can at least prove that my love for each and every one of you exists. Please, listen to my story, my symphony, for it is me."

This was, without a doubt, hauntingly beautiful. It's been a while since a story has brought a tear to my eye. And tonight, you've given me another.Lyra is indeed a very strong pony, knowing that no one remembers her, and yet, she can be remembered through her anonymous actions. Bravo, I say. Bravo.

BeautifulGood sir shortskirtsandexplosions this is one, if not the best fan fic i have read in my short 2 weeks of being a member of this site you captured how it feels to be a background character. What you've just wrote is one of the most insanely amazing things I have ever read. At no point in your story, were you even close to anything that could make me not want to track this. Everyone in this room is now better off for having read this. I award you points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Kind of reminds my of Greek myths, using stories to explain nature. In this case, the strange quality of our minds to think of the same tune, for no reason, for days on end. Imagine everybody forgetting you after only an hour. Also: This is likely a one-shot, unfortunately. Another chapter would ruin the tone of the story. In fact, if you don't track this (or even if you do), how long do you think it will take until you forget about this story? Cryptic, self-demonstrating story? Major props to you, author.

Lyra says "Heh" quite often. Her manner of speaking also sounds very masculine.

Does Lyra actually need to hide, given her situation?

So writing aside, the weakest plot points here seem to be:1. Lyra's "situation" goes largely unexplained, but you try to explain it instead of pushing it aside, drawing attention to its importance instead of its consequences.2. Despite time being a factor for Derpy, Lyra is in no apparent rush to complete her project.3. Lyra seems to bring up a lot of things from canon proper, yet Bon-Bon is nowhere to be seen.

Based on the fact that according to your profile you've only read that one fic of his, you're not who I'm talking about.

That guy has another fic called "Three of Me: School Society" that is just... awful. But somehow, it's the second most-commented fic on this entire site.

From writing that fic, the guy somehow got a fanbase big enough to catapult anything new that he makes to Featured just by their views alone. Also, criticize his writing and they'll flame you quite a bit.

411547ah. I thought you were referring to just everyone. I have found nothing to criticize. I try not to be critical of other peoples work. That creates resentment and is not what i see bronydom to be about. But that's just me!

And well-deserved at that! Asides the grammar nazi in us all tripping over the minor grammatical and spelling errors, this story goes well beyond the sophistication and creativity that goes into your average fic here on fimfiction. And the fact that it's "incomplete" gives me hope for Lyra!

I can only hope to write like you do - to invoke so much emotion from a few lines of text. Thank you. Thank you very much for sharing this with us all. I'm going to go get started on that writing here in a bit after I stop crying.
